My name is Laura Salazar, and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor for Illinois and Texas with over nine years of experience. You are the expert on your own life. I am an expert in helping you outline and achieve your goals. Therapy is intended to prepare you for working through your life's issues as they happen with empowerment and knowledge. I would be honored if you would choose me to provide you with the tools to build the kind of life you want to have.
Together, we will create treatment plans outlining what you would like to accomplish in therapy. Based on those goals, I will use evidence based treatments that match with each goal. What I tend to use most often are Rogerian Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialetical Behavioral Therapy, Constructivism, and Art Therapy techniques. I have the most experience with depression, anxiety, stress management, grief/loss, trauma/abuse, self-esteem, intimacy/couples issues, and behavior change.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Laura is a very good listener.
10/10 would recommend to almost anyone
Great therapist. I really feel as though she really does listen and offers the best advice.
Laura has helped me set goals for myself, learn how to cope with anxiety in a variety of ways, and problem solve when life has thrown different obstacles my way. She's an amazing listener, incredibly kind, and her input is invaluable. I was able to make so much progress thanks to my sessions with her.
When I feel like drowning, Laura is my lifejacket.
Laura is a very welcome, calming presence in my life. She offers sound advice and kind words when my head is spinning. I honestly don't know what I would do without her help, she really is one of a kind.
She’s attentive and listens. Is able to help me figure things out. And gives me goals to work on
Laura is so sweet and kind and understanding, sometimes I don't even believe an hour has gone by the conversation and therapy flows so well
best therapist i’ve ever had
Laura is a great listener and fosters a great environment for healing. She asks great questions that set you up for introspection. Laura is very kind and willing to work through tough subjects, and has a wide range of specialties .
I've tried counseling a couple times in the past, but Laura is the first counselor that I've "clicked" with and I'm finally seeing some progress. I'd highly recommend working with her.
I came to Laura after another counselor had not worked out, and was not feeling good about the process-- but I knew immediately that we clicked. Talking to her feels so natural that it's almost surprising when she then offers so many helpful insights and suggestions on how to reframe things. It's just. so. good. Laura is the best.
Laura is an excellent counselor. She is a great listener and offers lots of support while helping me to solve my problems on my own. She is very encouraging and helps me to see things from a different perspective and opens me up to new ideas and ways to resolve conflict.
Laura is awesome. It's so rare to find a counsellor you like, but to have found one that understands my culture and strives to understand me as a person, means a lot.
Very attentive, perceptive & kind hearted. I really feel like I was helped with some serious issues.
Laura's guidance and support has helped me realize more about myself in just a few short weeks. She listens attentively and gets to the heart of what is important to me. She focuses my growth with goals every week to keep me focused on my priorities.
Laura is a great listener and is awesome to work with. I never feel like I'm being preached to or judged. I have made a lot of progress with her help!
She is very kind, have great patience, caring and a great listener.
